SAG Awards 2017: Full Movie and TV Winners List
Often viewed as a divining rod for Oscar wins, the Screen Actors Guild awards have ended up a little more evenly spread than might have been expected, particularly after La La Land's Golden Globes domination.
Emma Stone took home the musical's sole win, while Fences was a little more successful, with both Denzel Washington and Viola Davis netting trophies. Mahershala Ali's performance in Moonlight continued to reap rewards, but it was NASA drama Hidden Figures that garnered the award for best cast performance.
In the TV category Netflix continued its quiet takeover of the best of TV, as The Crown scooped both best actor in a drama awards, while Stranger Things and Orange is the New Black nabbed ensemble cast awards.

Getting into Games: What Do Sound Designers Do?
It’s easy to forget how much work goes into making a video game, particularly the AAA kind. We tend to associate games with one or two visionaries – the Miyamotos, the Levines, the Kojimas – while overlooking the dozens, sometimes hundreds, of men and women who strive daily to implement their vision.
In this multi-part feature, we shine a light on the forgotten, the overlooked – the unsung heroes. Drawing on the expertise of over a dozen experienced developers, we get an insider’s overview of five vital but seldom celebrated roles in game development. We find out what makes these roles so important, what it’s like to work in one, and what it takes, skills and knowledge-wise, to obtain one.
The Blue Fields of Gaming Nostalgia
“Just listen.”
And she’d sat on the floor with me, and looked somewhere else when I embarrassed myself. I’d started salting the carpet over a song that was playing when life was taking too long. Final Fantasy VIII was there for me when nothing meant anything. I lost my phone for a month and when I got it back it was full of texts that went: Your bill’s way overdue. All I had for company were the streetlights outside my window for the longest time, stooping like I always did. I would only sit up straight for Squall, who I mirrored a great deal. Now, I’m told, I’m more of a Zell. Final Fantasy VIII is the warmest gaming memory I have and I’d frame it if I could. In a way, I have: Its nostalgic value to me is so abyssal I can’t even listen to covers of its music without painting myself into the portrait with manly(ish) tears.

Resident Evil: Final Chapter No Match for Split at Box Office
M. Night Shyamalan's horror thriller Split held strong in first place at the domestic box office this weekend, earning an estimated $26.3 million.
Meanwhile, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter debuted in fourth place. Sony's latest installment in video game-inspired film franchise, which concludes the story of Milla Jovovich's Alice, opened to an estimated $13.9 million.
